TRUE PADDLERS – A.P. Low (left) and David Eaton (assistant
surveyor for whom Low named Eaton Canyon on the Caniapiscau), shown
while coming up the Hamilton River in spring 1984. They had started
this trip in 1893 in Lac St. Jean, then paddled to Mistassini,
Nichicun, Caniapiscau, Fort Chimo, and then went by steamer to
Rigolet to spend the winter, and in the spring took canoes up the
Hamilton River by sled and canoed around Sandgirt, Michikamau and
other lakes, before paddling to Sept-Isles. James Stone and Max
Finkelstein trace Low's journey across Quebec in Expeditions.
